1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Zebrafish has emerged as a popular animal model in biomedical research. Numerous procedures and interventions require occasionally repetitive anesthesia. Tricaine is the most frequently used anesthetic for zebrafish and its efficacy is well established. However, the safety and efficacy of other anesthetics used for zebrafish require further examination, especially regarding repetitive anesthesia. Hence, we compare three anesthetics: tricaine (150 mg/l), eugenol (55 mg/l) and etomidate (4 mg/l) in wildtype adult zebrafish with and without interventions in the form of intraperitoneal injections. Groups of fish receiving the injections are named as (+ injection). We quantify anesthesia induction and recovery times as well as swimming behavior and cortisol levels as indicators of stress. Swimming behavior is quantified with the novel tank method as tank preference and number of turnings. Adult zebrafish are randomly divided into seven groups; tricaine (
